Pilot framework note

AAB Pilot Framework related case note

Framework: AAB Pilot Framework Version 1.0 Combined
Source case: AAB-CASE-2025-LL-001

Scope

The pilot documents a short informal-learning implementation in a public library. Graduate CS facilitators supported elementary-age learners in co-creating stories with a generative AI storytelling application.

Implementation summary

The activity used shared devices, no individual logins, no personal data collection, and volunteer facilitation. Learners selected familiar characters, supplied or selected prompts, reviewed generated story segments, and discussed human versus AI contributions.

Evidence summary

Evidence is descriptive and practitioner-reported. The record includes facilitator observations, activity documentation, qualitative engagement signals, observed prompt and voice-input challenges, and adaptations such as printed prompts and human editing pauses.

Framework alignment

The case supports Phase 4 implementation documentation and Phase 5 final-summary closure. Privacy and safeguarding constraints are low-risk because no student names, recordings, or personal accounts were collected.

Limitations

The activity was a one-time workshop with no controlled comparison, no retained student artifacts, and no formal pre/post assessment. Findings should be treated as implementation evidence rather than measured learning impact.

Reviewer note

Final registry disposition is completed with a related case record. Future review should only advance this record if additional formal pilot artifacts or outcome evidence are added.

Registry decision note

Phase 5 is marked completed because the related case record contains enough descriptive implementation evidence for registry summary closure while preserving its limitations.

Framework basis

AAB Pilot Framework Version 1.0 Combined defines a five-phase lifecycle: Internal Review; Preparation and Alignment; Training and Readiness; Implementation and Monitoring; Final Summary and Registry Decision.
The framework requires phase artifacts and advancement, readiness, monitoring, and registry decision notes before a pilot is treated as formally closed.
Each pilot record is linked to a related case that summarizes completed implementation evidence and supports human review.
